The universe is composed of a symphony of alternating currents with the harmonies played on a vast range of octaves. To explore the whole range of electrical vibration will bring man closer to an understanding of the cosmic symphony." Nikola Tesla - visionary & scientific genius (1856-1943)



Songwriter & composer originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba and presently residing in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia.

2005: Began writing and composing in a variety of genres including Classic Rock, Pop, Folk, World, Country, Instrumental and Parody -- often with topical subjects that address social and political issues.

2011: All my works, including the many in progress are available for licensing and adaptation for recording or publishing purposes. I've recorded a number of rough tracks (noted in description as 'RT') with many more in the works for later this year for anyone interested in adding their vocal, instrumental or production skills.

Excellent work here. Simple but profound lyrics and a catchy melody make for a powerful message railing against this despicable war. Outstanding!
